Volume 1 The Hatred of the Country and the Family, The Sword of the World, Chapter 40 Qin and Hanzhong, Chu Attacks Wuguan
The Qin State united with the armies of Wei, Han and Qi to fight with 300,000 Chu troops in Danyang, beheaded 80,000, captured 70 Chu generals, and the Chu State was defeated. Although the Qin state won a great victory, it also suffered heavy losses of its own.
When the king of Qin saw the defeat of the Chu army, he discussed with Zhang Yi again: "The widow used the strategy of Mr. to defeat the Chu army in Danyang, and now the widow wants to take the land of Hanzhong with the help of the victory of the aftermath." What does the gentleman think? ”
Zhang Yi said: "Although the Chu army was defeated in Danyang, its strength is still there. The ministers feared that the king of Chu would raise troops to attack Qin again, and the king wanted to prepare first. As for the land of Hanzhong, whether to take it or not depends on the will of the king. ”
King Qin said: "Although the land of Hanzhong is sinister, it is an important place in the south of Qin, and the few people have wanted to take the heart of Chu and Hanzhong for a long time!" How can you say whether you want it or not! ”
Zhang Yi said: "Hanzhong is indeed a place where soldiers must fight, if you want to plot Jingchu, you must first take Hanzhong." Now that the king wants to take it, he can take it. ”
King Qin said: "However, the 100,000 Chu army is stationed in Hanzhong, which cannot be underestimated. The widow has just used troops in Danyang, and this time he wants to guard against the return of the Chu army, how can he spare extra troops to take Hanzhong? So the widow wants to take it, but he can't do it. ”
Zhang Yi said: "What the king said is very true. But the minister thought that if the king wanted to take the Hanzhong of Chu State, he didn't need to spend a soldier first, and only needed a royal decree to promulgate. ”
King Qin was very happy when he heard this, and hurriedly asked Zhang Yi, "What is the good plan for Mr.?" Can I get Hanzhong without spending a single soldier first? ”
Zhang Yi offered advice to the king of Qin: "There are 100,000 military horses led by the Chu general Zhao Rat in Han, and the terrain is treacherous, the mountains are steep, the road is difficult, and it is very difficult to get it. Those who are in the art of war are the first to seek the country and besiege the city. The Great King can now annex the Hanzhong Land of Chu to Nanzheng of Qin and establish Hanzhong County of Qin, and this only requires a royal decree. Chu Wenzhi will be angry, and will send troops to attack me, and the king will unite the armies of Wei, Han, and Qi, and then fight a decisive battle with the Chu army. As long as the Chu army is repulsed, then Hanzhong will be returned to the king, which is as easy as a palm. ”
The King of Qin was very pleased when he heard this, but he had doubts about it in his heart, so he asked Zhang Yi again: "Although the Chu army is newly defeated, its strength is still there, and its military strength is comparable to mine. If Chu raised the troops of the country, would the army of the widow and Wei, Hanqi and Qi be able to resist the Chu army? ”
Zhang Yi said: "The king is at ease, the minister knows that although the country of Chu is vast, although there are many soldiers and horses, but the strength cannot be united, even if the king of Chu is angry and raises the army of the country to attack me, the soldiers and horses in the kingdom can resist for a while." If Chu and Qi are already at odds, the Yue Kingdom in the east has always had the intention of attacking Chu, if the Chu State is empty, Qi, Yue, Wei, Han and others will lead their troops to take advantage of the weakness, and then Chu will be in danger of losing the country. Therefore, the king does not have to worry, the soldiers of Chu Fa will not be able to destroy me, if I do not return to the division and return to the country, it will be destroyed by the princes of the world. ”
After hearing this, the King of Qin pondered for a long time, and his thinking was very reasonable, and he was still sure of resisting the army of Chu State. In the end, the king of Qin adopted Zhang Yi's plan and issued a royal decree, announcing that the Hanzhong land of Chu would be owned by Qin, and Nanzheng, which was in the upper reaches of the Han River, would be established as Hanzhong County of Qin. He also ordered the Qin generals to lead 100,000 Qin troops to prepare to collect Hanzhong.
The king of Chu was defeated in Danyang, and was discussing with the minister to raise the country's troops to attack Qin, and suddenly heard that the Qin State had assigned the Hanzhong land of Chu to the Qin State. Zhang Yi's old thief bullied the widow too much, and Yingsi also ignored the widow. The widow swore to attack Qin, capture Xianyang, behead Zhang Yi first, and then destroy Yingsi! ”
King Qin Huiwen's name is Yingsi, in the Warring States Period, the king's name is not allowed to be called, if the king's name is called, it is that there is a hatred that does not share the heavens.
When the monarchs and ministers of Chu heard this, they were all angry, and unanimously agreed to raise troops to attack Qin, so as to be ashamed of this. The king of Chu then ordered the Hanzhong guard general Zhao Rat, reorganize the soldiers and horses, and wait for the order to prepare to attack Qin.
The king of Chu raised the army of the country to attack Qin, personally commanded the three armies of the Chu state, and took the pillar country Jingcui as the vanguard, so that Yin Zilan stayed in the national capital to supply grain and grass for the army.
When Chen Zhen heard that the King of Chu was going to send troops to attack Qin, he came to ask for a meeting, and the King of Chu was holding a swearing-in meeting and was about to leave the army. ”
Chen Zhen said: "The minister came this time, although he knew that the king would not listen to the words of the minister, but the words in the minister's heart did not vomit or be unhappy. ”
The King of Chu said with a gloomy expression: "Good Chenzi! Expect things to be like gods. The widow did not listen to Chen Zi's words, and was deceived by Zhang Yi. It is beyond the reach of the widow to regret it! But in today's situation, if the widow does not cut off Zhang Yi's head, it will be difficult to calm the anger in his heart. If you don't raise troops to attack Qin, it will be difficult to snow the humiliation of Danyang's defeat! Today, Yingsi has been forcibly assigned to Hanzhong and Qin, which is tolerable or unbearable! Even if the widow is no longer unscrupulous, he should know the shame. This oath to cut down Qin, to snow this hatred! ”
Chen Zhen said: "The king is defeating Qin, and the ministers know that they can't be admonished. However, the minister has a word, may the king listen to it. Now the king has been absolutely happy, and the Central Plains Han and Wei are all enemies, if the king is empty and invades Qin, Qi, Han, Wei and others take advantage of the weakness, and the Chu State is afraid of being destroyed! I have to tell the king! ”
The king of Chu, Xie Chenzhen, said: "What Chen Zi said is very true, Qi Wei and other national divisions, have to be guarded, now this is the case, and leave 100,000 soldiers and horses to guard Yingdu, and the widow personally led 300,000 soldiers and horses to attack Qin, Chen Zi can assist the prince to stay in Yingdu." ”
Chen Zhen thanked him, and the king of Chu went out to teach, and Chen Zhen sent his cane to the suburbs, and saw that the king of Chu drove away, but he still stood speechless for a long time.
The king of Qin did not wait for the Chu army to come, he was already ready to meet the battle, since the land of Hanzhong was assigned to the Qin state, he was afraid that the people of Hanzhong would not obey, so he ordered the Qin general to lead the Qin army of 100,000 to collect Hanzhong. Ordered the prince Zhu Lijian and the general Wei Zhang to command the Qin army of 200,000 to treat the Chu army at Wuguan.
When Zhao Rat, the defender of Chu and Hanzhong, heard that the Qin army had an action to capture Hanzhong, he also raised 100,000 Chu troops to meet the Qin army in Xixixiang County, Shangyong.
The Qin-Chu War is about to break out. The heroes of Liangzhou, who are active in the area of Bashan and Hanshui, are mostly people from the middle of the Han Dynasty of the Chu State, all of whom regard themselves as Chu people, and their hearts are towards the Chu State and exclude the Qin State. Now I heard that the king of Chu was deceived by Zhang Yi, and the Chu army was defeated in Danyang, and now the Chu army came to capture Hanzhong again, and they all were excited, and spontaneously went to Shangyong, and asked Feng Xingzi, the leader of Liangzhou Haojie, to preside over the big event.
Xiaofeng is in Shangyong, and when he heard that Zhang Yi had really deceived and played the King of Chu this time, he was surprised: "Why did Zhang Yi do such a fraudulent thing? He summoned his subordinates Ding Hu, Mo Fei, Qin Ying, Wang Hu, Ma Jie and other heroes to discuss, and Xiaofeng said: "Zhang Yi went back on his word, openly deceived the king of Chu, and has become the enemy of Chu. Since Chu has been deceived, I am afraid that there will be disadvantages, what do you think of the situation? ”
Ding Hu heard that Zhang Yi was like this, gritted his teeth and said, "I swear to kill Zhang Yi's old thief!" Fang Ping was angry in his heart. ”
Xiaofeng said: "Killing a Yi is useless, since the king of Chu has been fooled, I am afraid that there will be a war between Chu and Qin." And Hanzhong is the first to bear the brunt, and Qin has been trying to invade Hanzhong's heart for a long time. If there is a war, Hanzhong will be inevitable, what can you say? ”
Mo Fei said: "It's hard to say about this situation. Although Qin coveted Hanzhong, he was also afraid that Chu would have many generals, and there were 100,000 Chu troops stationed in Han, which was not so easy to take. In Fei's humble opinion, if the two countries really fight each other, Chu wins, Hanzhong will not be in danger, Qin Sheng, I am afraid that Hanzhong will not be able to protect it. ”
Xiaofeng asked Mo Fei: "In Brother Mo's opinion, if the two countries fight this time, who will win and who will lose?" ”
Mo Fei said: "The power of Qin and Chu is comparable, and the military strength is comparable, and it can only be known after the war, and Mo Fei can't predict it." ”
Xiaofeng sighed: "The King of Chu is the king of Shengming, how could he fall for Zhang Yi's job?" If there is a war this time, I don't know how much food is spent, how many sons are killed and wounded, and how many people are running on the road, and they are unbearable for conscription! ”
Ding Hu shouted: "I am a heroic man of Liangzhou, who takes chivalry and righteousness as the foundation of his life, and now Zhang Yi is an old thief, who received the golden silk of the king of Chu, and promised the king of Qin not to come to capture my Hanzhong, why did he rebel?" These untrustworthy and unrighteous thieves are left in the world to plague the world. Please Feng Xingzi give Ding an order, Ding immediately raised a three-foot sword, entered Xianyang alone, and first got rid of this thief for the world! If Zhang Yi dies, the Qin State will definitely be frightened, and he will not dare to despise my Chu State anymore. ”
Xiaofeng comforted Ding Hu and said: "Don't be rash, Zhang Yi is a celebrity next to King Qin, how can he easily succeed in assassination?" And killing a instrument, it doesn't matter, and it doesn't help. The key point today is that the Qin State wants to invade our Hanzhong, and Hanzhong is the hometown of our Liangzhou heroes. ”
Ma Jie is also a very resourceful person, he has been listening to everyone's discussions, and now he saw that no one had a plan, so he said to Xiaofeng: "I expect that the matter of Qin Chu's sword soldiers is inevitable, but I don't know who wins and who loses." We are heroes in the rivers and lakes, and we can't influence the king's major affairs, but we can also help each other. Xiaofeng was trusted by the King of Chu before, and there was a letter issued by the King of Chu, so now he can call on the heroes of Liangzhou to spy on the intelligence of the Qin army to help the Chu division, and other matters, and make arrangements after the war. ”
Xiaofeng pondered, and there was only that, so he listened to Ma Jie's words, let people spy on the intelligence of the Qin army, and sent someone to inform the king of Chu, saying that Liangzhou Haojie was willing to serve the country, and the king of Chu was very happy, which made people reply to Xiaofeng and said: "The widow wears the sword of Zhan Lu, and is the king of the temple of Chu State, and Xu Haojie, the popular son of Xu Haojie, has a sword of gongbu hanging on his waist, and he is the leader of the rivers and lakes of Chu State!" May Feng Xingzi and the widow share the same hatred, defeat the Western Qin, and glorify the Chu State! ”
After Xiaofeng got the Gongbu sword and walked the rivers and lakes under the name of Fengxingzi, his fame gradually spread, and even the kings of various countries knew about Fengxingzi. The King of Chu knew about Xiaofeng before, and there have always been people who reported the news of Liangzhou Haojie to the King of Chu, so Xiaofeng has to work with the sword, and the king of Chu is also clear about the matter of being a popular person.
Xiaofeng then ordered Mo Fei and others to lead the Mo family disciples to lurk in the front line of Danyang in Chu State, and later the two countries exchanged troops, the Chu division was unfavorable in the initial battle, Liangzhou Haojie sped on the movements of the Qin army, and reported to the commander of the Chu army Jing Cui, Qu Qi's army was almost wiped out in Danyang, and Jing Cui's army was also in danger, fortunately Liangzhou Haojie passed on the information, Jing Cui learned the movement of the Qin army, and withdrew in time in advance, avoiding the fate of being defeated by the Qin army again.
